Nope but I have seen the new H5 bluetooth headset! Its really nice🤒



I'm sorry, but everytime I read Bang & Olufsen in the Bluetooth context the only term that comes up is "STAY AWAY FROM THIS!" The H8 was so embarassing that I switched happily back to my A8 and H3 to live and hear without problems that other Bluetooth headphone manufactures solved YEARS ago!

Let's hope the new Beosound looks like a real Bang & Olufsen product and comes without issues...

The H5 is a bluetooth version of the H3. It's like a magnetic neckless with up to 4 hours playtime. Great for your running and if you are at the gym. (For those who goes to the gym, not me)

They will be Launched later this week.

I wonder what characteristics would differentiate if a product gets the B&O branding and when it would get the B&O Play?  Would it be a price point or construction material?  B&O Play S8 is essentially a B&O BeoLab 14 2.1 so it's probably not material.

The S8 uses optically damaged Beolab 14 casings with a layer of paint. Verry effective solution.
